Can someone please help me with this code... I am trying to send info to notepad when I click a mouse button. LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { static HANDLE hFile = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE; switch(msg) { case WM_CREATE: hFile = CreateFile(...); return 0; case WM_DESTROY: CloseHandle(hFile); PostQuitMessage(0); return 0; case WM_LBUTTONDOWN: WriteFile(...); return 0; case WM_RBUTTONDOWN: WriteFile(...); return 0; default: return DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam); } }
Are you really trying to send the data to "notepad"? Or are you trying to write the data to a text file that could subsequently be read in notepad?
Yes you are right, I am trying to write data to a text file that could subsequently be read in notepad.
Then you need to look up those functions on MSDN. CreateFile WriteFile They're a little complicated, but just remember that you mostly want the defaults.
